Very relaxed climb through a wooded area with some Sun and Shield buildings next to the route. Especially the first part and the final stretch have a bit of slope. Largely good tarmac, only the last straight section (after the "gate") is a bit less.
Heel relaxte klim door een bosrijke omgeving met daarbij enkele gebouwen van Zon en Schild naast de route. Vooral het eerste deel en het eindstuk hebben een beetje helling. Grotendeels goed asfalt, alleen het laatste rechte stuk (na de "poort") is wat minder.
